A few weeks ago a bunch of seven came to his house. Uufortunately, he was away from home at the time, in fact, he is away from home most of the time during the day, as he is employed at Mt. Gretna. His wife saw them coming and locked the .| new steel rails this year. President Samuel Rea on Friday authorized the announcement of the require- ments for 19%4, which amounts to 137,032 tons. The official announce- ment was rather a surprise, inas- much as it named a total greater by 12,000 tons than had been indicated ' in recent unofficial but widely cred- ited estimates, To that extent, this year’s order is more favorable than had been expected. door, she and a young child being Out of the total requirements for | the only occupants. The fellows tried the year, definite orders have al- to get in and found the doors bolted, ready been placed for 37,032 tons when they broke a pane of glass, .,q° various bids were requested opened the sash bolt, raised the sash and crawled in. Then they chased ) : from various steel] companies for 100,000 tons more. It is generally Mrs. Shearer and the child out of the understood the orders for all, or vir- house, ransacked it, but took only several articles of clothing. # Several days later two of the bunch again came to the house, when no one was at home. They entered the building by opening one of the windows, and when Mrs. Shearer re- turned home one of the fellows was in the house, while the other was sitting under a tree. This time they secured some money and a watch. A few days after this three men came to the house, Mrs. Shearer be ing at home, and gained entrance and again west through the building, but took nothing this time. That same evening, after dark, they were prowling about the house, but Mr. Shearer was home at the time, and, of course they did not try to enter the usual way. Mr. Shearer and family are unable to explain what this means and what the scoundrels are after. They cer- tainly have some object in view. The neighbors have suggested to Mr. Shearer to get the services of the State Constabulary, who will soon put a stop to this business. His wife is in constant suspense, not knowing what, nument the fellows may come again. DE A Merciless Judge One who shows no favor A merciless judge is Father Time. Before him the weak and the want- ing go to the wall. Only the truth tually all, of the 37,032 tons already contracted for have gone to the Cambria Steel Company and the Pennsylvania Steel Company in about equal proportions and that the deliveries have been largely com- | pleted. | The amount of extra heavy rails which will be rolled for the Pennsyl-' vania system this year, it was an- nounced, is 15,000 tons. These rails will weigh 120 pounds to the yard and comprise the two test orders placed with the Cambria and Penn- sylvania Steel companies earlier in the year. : The Pennsylvania system wishes to test out thoroughly the heavier | rails both with a view to increased safety of railroad operation with heavy trains and high speeds and also to obtain a rail which will be more durable, and hence more econ- omical in the long run. The high first cost of the heavy rails was the chief factor operating against their use, The test orders were placed with the two steel companies large- ly for the purpose of ascertaining | how cheaply such rails could be pro- | duced with fair remuneration to the makers. Except for the 15,000 tons of extra heavy rails, the Pennsylvania ord- ers this year will cover nothing but | 100-pound rails, the standard of the system and of most other leading trunk line railroads. The cost of standard rails is, and for about a dozen years, has been $28 a ton. can stand. For years the following For rails not of standard weight statement from a Mount Joy resident has withstood this * sternest of all tests. Mrs. H. N. Nissly, Barbara & Mt. Joy Sts., Mt. Joy, Pa., says: “I had been suffering from a weak back and other kidney ailments for some time. I had a dull ache across my kidneys that made me sick all over and I was bothered by chills and dizzy spells. My kidneys were not doing their work properly. Doan’s Kidney Pills were recommended to me as being a good remedy for these troubles and I began using them. A few doses benefited me and I con-|of steel rails less than last year to tinued until T was cured.” Confirmed Proof On Marech 17, 1914, Mrs. Nissly said: “I still recommend Doan’s Kidney Pills and confirm my former endorsement. I have had no oc- casion to use a kidney remedy since |year. Its advent, therefore, is a Doan’s Kidney Pills cured me.” Price 50c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Nissly had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N.

This change became effect- ive last year and it is expected that | within a month payment of the school appropriation to districts will be started. Practically all of the 2,550 districts have been paid for the last year, those who failed to file the required reports having been held up. a Where's the Town Marshal?

It is understood that in the case of the 120-pound rails ord- | ered by the Pennsylvania the differ- | ence is slight in the ton price, altho, | naturally, a given weight covers a | smaller length of track. In 1913 the Pennsylvania system ordered 183,000 tons of rails, repre- senting a cost of more than $5,100, 000. Thus the steel companies this vear will sell about 1,300,000 worth the Pennsylvania Railroad system. This year’s order has been delayed eight months beyond the usual date It is customary to place the order in the early fall of the following welcome event in the steel trade ev- en though the order is of reduced proportions. ———— Closed on the Fourth We, the undersigned merchants and business men of Mount Joy and Florin, do hereby agree to close our respective places of business the en tire day, July 4th, 1914, using regu lar Saturday hours the Friday be | fore: H, E, Hauer H.

Motorists is Highly Commended 1 — { Pr The Lancaster Automobile Club is to be highly commended for the position it has taken against reck- less motor driving and its offer to help all officials in their attempts to enforce the law in regard to the use Rapho Township Resident Made Af- Requirements Amount to 137,032 | Action Condemning Speed Among | or misuse of automobiles. This! club is a large and influential one | and active in the promotion of good | ends, viz. better highways and skill in driving motor cars. So it is in a | position and temper to establish beneficent ends in many ways.—Lan- | caster Examiner. The action of the Lancaster Auto- mobile Club in condemning the speed mania among motorists is to! be highly commended. There has | been a feeling existing that organiza- | tions of autoists have looked with disfavor upon the laws that have been framed to control the operation ' of motor cars and were inclined to protect those members who were | found guilty of committing viola- tions of the statutes. But the ac-! tion of the local club is conclusive | evidence that its members are ready "and willing to do all in their power to aid in making the great pleasure of motoring as safe for those who participate in it as for those who too ! frequently have their lives endan- | gered by reckless drivers. The auto | club can render valuable assistance to the police department in promptly | reporting the names of violators of | the laws.—Lancaster New Era. Commendable care for the safety of the public, as well as for their own safety and reputations, is shown by the Lancaster Automobile Club ! in voicing a demand that reckless | violation of the letter and spirit of | the law shall cease. Those citizens | who do not own automobiles and who ! seldom or never ride in them share | with the autoists this responsibility | for safety. ! But the pedestrian should also be | careful of the rights of the automo- | bile driver. Itis folly to endeavor | to hasten across the street in front | of a moving car when only a frac- | tion of a minute will be lost by wait- | ing until it has passed. Streets | should be crossed by pedestrians on- | ly at regular crossing places, and if | it is necessary to cross at other spots let the pedestrian cross the street at right angles and not in a long diagonal which only increases the troubles of those who are trying | to make trafic conditions as little | burdensome as possible. Recognition of the rights cf oth- ers in minor details will lead to rec- ognition in the major things and ev- eryone will be happier.—Lancaster Morning News. et 4 pe ee THE VALUE OF PLAY Little Talks on Health and Hygiene by Samue| G. Dixon M. D, LL. D. Summer days are play days for men and women as well as children. Perhaps at this time of the year it is well to consider what play really means to all of us. As a reaxation from the cares of business and as an educational fac- tor of no small importance to the growing boy and girl it should be | encouraged and intelligently direct- ed. No history of a nation would be complete without some record of its amusements and entertainments. | In these is written all change of | manners, morals and faith. We are spending millions of dol- lars yearly upon the education of our children and as a nation are justly proud of what we have achiev- ed in that work, But there is much to be taught in the proper direction of this natura] instinct for play. It | is quite as worthy of the serious | consideration of our educators as all | the other studies in the curriculum. It is not in school but in play that children first learn respect for lead- ership and the value of courage, honor and pluck. It is on the play ground that the first lessons in democracy are taught. In those games in which the individual con- tests for his school among his mates he acquires standards which are the best possible training for future citizenship. Parents who turn their children out “to play” without interest or knowledge of what diversions they seek are neglecting their duty and missing an opportunity to turn +} patural instinct to the greatest ad- | vantage, Thru this channel it is | possible to cultivate to a high degree | those qualities of imagination and character which will prove of ines- timable advantage to the growing | boy and girl. Public play-grounds should serve | as important a place in the educa- | tion of our children as the public! 9 em New Hote] Opened Several hundred people attended | the opening of- the Collins hotel, Col- | lings.
